Join us for a group ryde to Scotty's Tiki Bar and The Galley Restaurant in Clewiston, Florida. As usual, we will take the less traveled roads to our destination. US Spyder Ryders from 5 other chapters are invited to ryde to this destination to meet and share both old and new friendships. We expect to see ryders from South Florida, Treasure Coast, Space Coast, West Coast and possibly our new chapter, Speed Coast.
We will depart from Central Florida PowerSports promptly at 9:00a (8:30a meet up time) and arrive at Scotty's Tiki Bar and Grill about 1:00p. There will be gas and rest stops along the way to refresh and also to meet up with other chapters ryding in. Other chapters have the option of using the routes shown here or creating their own route to Scotty's Tiki Bar.

Join Road Captain Dave Van Verth, for a trip over to St. Pete for the 3rd Annual Hops for Heroes event on Saturday, Feb 18th. This event is will raise money for the Road Warrior Foundation and their upcoming ryde later in 2017.
Not only will this event allow you to help a great organization and cause, but will also allow you to meet and visit with members of other US Spyder Ryder Chapters as folks from the FL West Coast, Space Coast, and FL N.E. Chapters will be in attendance. Ryde details will be posted soon.
